First off, fade the hell out of me, I suck at betting the NFL. 4-7 yesterday for a a total of 23-25-1 this year. I have had some success betting Monday Night and I believe that is because I actually analyze the game. I spend the whole week analyzing CFB and then get to the NFL worn out on Sunday and just go with my guy. Never again though
. Tonight's line is intriguing to me. The Redskins can play some ball and Pittsburgh got exposed last week at home vs. the Giants. The Steelers struggled when Ben was blitzed and Gregg Williams knows how to send a blitz. Ben does not like to throw the ball away, and he is a big dude so he can escape some situations, but overall he ends up hurting his team when he takes needless sacks. The Steelers can put up points on a bad defense, but this year have struggled to put up points against good defenses. 14 against the Giants @ home, 6 on the road @ Philly, 23 against Baltimore but that was the defense scoring. That is the key, Pittsburgh takes advantage of turnovers, but Washington does not commit them. Campbell takes care of the ball better than any QB in the league. Portis has fumbled a few times this year, but hes still the leading rusher in the NFL by something like 200 yards. Advantage Redskins.
Now how will the Redskins score. I really think it will be a field goal fest. They will rely on turnovers, Ben likes to turn the ball over, and the field position battle. Santana Moss is questionable but you have to imagine hell play. He has been a beast all year and back to '06 form when he came up with big play after big play. I think Cooley should see some opportunities for big plays because of the success of their play action and the make of the offense. Lastly, lets not underestimate the fans at FedEx field. That stadium will be rocking with around 100,000 people and it never fails that a good defense at home in a night game looks even better than usual. With that being said.....
Washington-12
Pitt-6
No touchdowns score, 6 field goals is my prediction
Washington(-2)....large play
Washington/Pitt Under 38....normal play

Heading to Blacksburg for the Tuesday-Sunday and attending the VT-UMD game Thursday Night. If you guys havent been to a night game in Lane Stadium is a must do before you die. I've been to Ohio St, Michigan and Penn St. and the atmosphere for a VT night game is still tops.
